+1 for Bob 'Notes' Norton and his 3rd party styles. I remember one of his early ads in a Recording magazine, and we had a nice chat.
Kudos to Peter Gannon for recognizing the value Bob adds to BIAB, and to Bob for quality work.

I had my first version of BiaB floppy disks given to me after expressing an interest in it. If I recall, I was actually more interested in the Powertracks program that came with it.
/there were benefits to having parents that owned a music store <grin>/
I too remember the old forum.
The often mentioned (and missed) Mac and I were working on a website project when he mentioned to me that he had just registered on the new forum. So I went over & re-registered, becoming member number 32. Man that was a long time ago.
Mac is member 11 and Peter is 12, I always found that humorous. Mac was all over everything. Hard to believe he ever slept.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

WoW...this is turning out to be a real BIAB history lesson.
“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”

I was wandering the internet looking for a backing track for Jobim's Wave. I followed a few links but they were awful tracks. Then I went to the next link, and there it was. A really good backing track. By Notes Norton! Got it. loaded it, played a sax melody line over it, and it worked out well. I still don't know what goes in to making a style, but I know he does good ones.

To create backing tracks, but it's like a rabbit warren and I keep getting side tracked. Recently, I've spent more time on the forum than using it, but I can't help getting the full upgrade every year. I think I'm a BIAB addict....

I bought BIAB back in 1995. I needed bass and drums to accompany me on my solo hotel gig. Now-a-days I use it more to make lead sheets for the jazz group I work with, although we haven't had any gigs for months due to Covid-19.

The first time was when BiaB was all midi. I didn't like the audio results and didn't have the time to devote to thoroughly learn midi.
The second time my wife gave me a 2011 BiaB ProPAK CD. The ability for RealTracks to follow song key signature changes hooked me.
You know how someone starts a song in one key but that key doesn't work for the singer so everyone tries different keys until they find one that's better? That was amazing then and still amazes me.
Once I settle on a chord progression and style I still enjoy cycling through keys. Some songs just sound better in a certain key. Band-in-a-Box is more than a one trick pony but that one trick was all it took for me.

I bought it for the steel guitar.

As per "Mac's" advice back in 2004 (I think) I bought it to get me out doing live gigs again. Best music move I have ever made as since then I have done many hundreds of shows I would never have done without BIAB.
Thanks Again Mac!

My introduction to BIAB was a bit bizarre. I didn't have any PRN radiology techs on staff in the TB clinic, so I had to rely on a temp manpower company to provide techs when my radiology tech called in sick or was on vacation. My tech took a 2 week vacation, and when she came back she found that the temp had downloaded a bunch of WAREZ that had infected the radiology department's main PC with a virus. Our IT department was less than helpful in getting the virus removed, so I stayed after work and tried to remove the virus and identify the source of infection.
Turned out that the temp radiology tech was a part time musician and had downloaded a folder with several pirated versions of music software including BIAB 11 which was all MIDI at the time. Not being familiar with the program, I took a copy off the infected computer and took it back to my studio to see what it was. Impressed with what it sounded like through my Yamaha keyboard, and discovering that I could export MIDI from it and use it in Cakewalk, I looked the company up online and purchased version 12. I think at the time the PG Music was offering free demo downloads of their software so I'm not sure why the software Pirates were packaging it together with their Pirated stuff.
I fired the temp.
